I use ssh-agent. I think KeyChain goes a little beyond it? > With RedHat 8.0, I would get a login XSession error that my session > lasted less than 10 seconds, and X would restart.

With Fedora Core 1, this 'workaround' no longer works. > You can't login to X with KeyChain in your .bash_profile.

This works fine, > you just have to remember to do it every time you reboot/login to the > system. Can you start KeyChain as part of your X session?
